Attorneys are now filing a lawsuit on behalf of two women who claim that they were wrongfully fired from a daycare center which demanded that they refer to a six-year-old girl as a transgendered boy.
Madeline Kirksey, a Christian author, says that she was terminated as the manager of the Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center because she would not go along with parents who’d decided to recognize their daughter as a boy. Her co-worker, Akesha Wyatt, was also let go for the same reason.
Houston, TX, attorney, Andy Taylor, who is most famous for his victory after challenging Houston’s HERO issue, is now taking a stance against their termination.
“This case involves a little 6-year-old girl who has been attending a private school in Katy, Texas for the last four months as a little girl. She has parents who are a same-sex couple, two men, who decided that she was transgender,” Taylor said Tuesday afternoon at a news conference. “On Friday, that little girl left school. I’m not going to use names, but (she was) known to everybody as ‘Sally,’ and on Monday, this little girl returns to school calling herself ‘Johnny.'”
